I'm doing this on an Asus laptop with a 2070 (should be relatively similar). We'll see how it goes long term, but currently getting about $115/month, so it will hopefully pay for itself. I keep the GPU temp at<60, which should be sustainable indefinitely. The goal for me is not so much to make money as to make my gaming hobby revenue neutral
RTX 3060 had mining blocked on the nvidia drivers. Workarounds are supposedly possible. Not sure about mobile version.
TLDR; Don't buy any laptop if your primary or only goal is mining. But as a side hustle, it might be worth it.
Nice, thanks for that info! Is that money generated net profit? How much energy do you think you consume? Gaming does get expensive and need for upgrade occurs often enough, so it's great to have ypur hobby pay for itself.
I received an omen laptop with 2060 and wouldnt mind doing it with that if it's possible. It already has great cooling + my laptop fan
Maybe a 2,000W mobile unit that can be used as a heater if you add proper reciprocating fan just to handle the cold?
This laptop is pretty loud even with my late-2020 model with 1660Ti. That one had an R7, 16GB, 1TB SSD for $900 at BF. Guess it's all because of the new video cards. The rest is sh*t. I would buy 1660Ti with good processor for work and occasional play. If you want real gaming rig, you should have a desktop anyway.

I don't believe the block to 3060 applies to laptop as I got 35 mhs out of the box on my asus laptop.

I been seeing that the HP software for multiple people the driver keeps getting corrupt lately forcing uninstall and re installs of the printers, very annoying and very meh.
As for deal its a good price but the shifting and long wait time is a deal killer to a lot of people.

That's total, with present market conditions. Gminer claims 115 Watts (~$10/month for me), which is believable based on heat output, so profit is around $105/month.
Also, I have it sitting on a large honeywell Hepa filter (which I run 24/7 for allergies anyway) which probably forces a lot more air through the vents then a laptop cooler would. And I've noticed it makes a *big* difference exactly how I position the laptop. Goal is to have as much pressure differential between the laptop intake and the vent. Since all laptops are made differently I imagine you might have to play with positioning on a laptop cooler to optimize cooling.
The filter has the added benefit of ensuring dust and lint don't gum up the fans. Some laptop coolers also have filters, but you could probably diy that part with an AC air filter from Walmart or something.
Show me a $1k 30-series laptop and your point will start to have merit, but the entire PC gaming climate right now is nowhere near what it was last year, and 20-series laptops were not nearly as demanded as the 30-series laptops.
Aside from your experience, the HP Omen reviews from last year are pretty consistently positive from major reviewers, and the new models have received a lot of praise as well. Most of the gripe with this deal is that it's through HP directly, and their sales practices are among the worst with regards to customer prioritization.
TL;DR, yes this IS a great price, it's just not a great method of buying it. If you're going to come in with "price is bad" comments, please provide an alternative suggestion outside of claiming you got the same thing for cheaper before it existed with these components.
Omen has a separate service than HP, there service was great.

Then omen service has sucked too? They are complete garbage after contacting them 14 times on this same laptop I ordered in February!!!!! Still not here.
